How long does it take to recover from donating a kidney?

@alicat60, I've just returned home from my annual post transplant check-up. I see that you are 60, and I want to let you know that I was 60 at the time of own organ transplant. Mine was a liver and kidney from an annymous deceasd donor at Mayo Rochester in 2009. I have not experienced living donatioin, so here are some Connect discussions that I want to share with you from members who have shared their experincs as living kidney donors:
- Any living kidney donors that can share?

Will you be at Mayo Clinic for the transplant? Have you already started the screening process for being a living donor? Is your husband on the lransplant wait list?

@rosemarya thank you for all the info. I’m just reading this… Yes, my husband is on the list but he’s having a complication from his Peritoneal Dialysis that we are trying to fix. We are with Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. I hope it can be fixed soon since I’m his living donor. We are at match.
